Fuel Theft Prevention

Gilbarco® Encore® 700 · Installed by JF Petroleum Group

Fuel theft protection for Encore 700 dispensers

When the meter itself is the thing being attacked, your dispenser stops being a witness and starts reporting a normal sale. We build protection for exactly that, for exactly these units — sold and installed nationwide through JF Petroleum Group.

  • Built for the Encore 700 family
  • Fitted by a JF technician in about 15 minutes
  • Nothing to run, renew or subscribe to

The problem, in three numbers

Fuel theft is a route, not an accident

These crews work site to site. Every figure below is from a named outlet, dated, and linked.

Why operators fit it

Be the site the route skips

The crews in our news coverage work routes — fifteen stations, seventy locations. They optimise for speed and they choose their stops. The point of this product is to move you off that list.

We do not publish how it works

No materials, no dimensions, no installation detail, no spec sheet — and we will not send one. A public description of how a security product is built and fitted is most useful to the person trying to get past it.

Everything you need in order to decide is here: what it fits, what it addresses, what it does not, who installs it, and what it costs. The engineering conversation happens between you and your JF Petroleum Group branch.

Why we work this way →

Nothing to run or renew

No software, no network connection, no subscription and no licence. Once it is fitted there is nothing for your team to operate, monitor or pay for again.

Fits dispensers you already own

Built for the Encore 700 family already on your forecourt, and removable by a technician when the unit needs service.

Installed by people who know your pumps

JF Petroleum Group techs already service these dispensers nationwide. The cover goes in on a scheduled visit, not a special trip.

Getting it fitted

Three steps, one service visit

  1. 01

    Request a quote

    Tell us your state, dispenser count and models. It routes to the JF branch covering your area.

  2. 02

    A JF tech fits it

    about 15 minutes per fueling position, on a scheduled visit — usually folded into work already planned for your site.

  3. 03

    Back in service

    Positions come down one at a time, so the site keeps selling while the work happens.

Fuel value only. It excludes pump damage, downtime, the labor to reconcile the loss, and the inspection or recalibration a tampered dispenser may need before it goes back in service.
